The ADB server is A server a background process on your development machine - e.g. Windows PC. The ADB server manages communication between the client and the adb daemon running on an emulator or device. The ADB commands that are essential to start ADB Server and connect to Device are:

Terminates the adb server process that is running in the background

ADB kill-server

Check whether the adb server process is running in the background. Start it if it is not running in the background:

ADB start-server

Know what emulator/device instances are connected to the adb server. Generate a list of attached emulators/devices:

ADB Devices

This command produces Device/Emulator serial number and itis state - whether online or offline.

I have not used adb at all but do have sdk and the like ready to go I set it all up when trying to push a bootanimation just to find out that my hboot version ( 2.10 ) does not support this.. I wondering if I can still use shell commands or do a pull or install with adb

You said your way to the directory to sdk is cd c:\AndroidSDK/tools ........................how come .What is cd supposed to be here ?

I mean basically shouldnt it be c:\"installation folder" or c:\program files\"installation folder"

Click to expand...

you do not have to have cd in front. unless you are in a different directory. the whole idea is that you point the command in the right path. so that where ever your adb folder is at that is where the command should be.

i find that if you right click while holding down shift and select open command window here option (only works in windows 7) to be the easiest way.
